Verified Reviews of Hampton Inn & Suites Columbus / University Area

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Exceptional guest care"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I drove up from Tennessee and went directly to hospital. Did not get to hotel until late and had not eaten all day and too exhausted to find food. The staff fixed me a little care package to get me through the night. There was a free shuttle to and from the hospital. All my needs were met or exceeded.
